Undo the cruelty of the Trump administration (sign the petition)

Sign the petition to support the We Are Home coalition's campaign to fix the broken immigration system.

Dear MoveOn member,

Over the past four years, Americans watched as Donald Trump used fear and racism to divide our country and expand the inhumane immigration detention system, separate migrant children from their parents, and deprive refugees seeking asylum of their freedoms.

In 2020, our multiracial, multi-ethnic, multigenerational majority chose a new America. As we recover from the cruelty of the Trump administration and the health and economic crises of COVID-19, it is critical that we build a nation where home is truly here and safe for all.

Add your name calling on the Biden-Harris administration and every member of Congress to take immediate action to protect immigrants who call this country home.

In the first 100 days, we urge the new administration to undo the harmful policies Donald Trump put in place that have inflicted cruelty and pain on immigrant communities; to impose a moratorium on deportations, new arrests, and detentions; and to work with Congress on legislation that creates a roadmap to citizenship.

In order to transform our nation's immigration system, the new administration must take these steps:

1) Undo the cruelty of the Trump administration. Starting on day one, the Biden-Harris administration must dismantle the punishing policies of the Trump administration, starting with a moratorium on deportations, new arrests and detentions. Trump and his cronies weaponized an already merciless immigration system with 900 executive actions that inflict pain and terror on immigrant communities and stained our moral fiber.

2) Create a roadmap to citizenship. Millions of undocumented immigrants live, work, and contribute to the United States every day and call this country home. Congress must immediately work on legislation in the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration that creates a roadmap to citizenship for every immigrant who calls this country home. It is long overdue and is supported by an overwhelming number of Americans from all walks of life.

3) Build a new immigration system that is fair, humane, and functional. The Biden-Harris administration needs to transform DHS, CBP, ICE, and the other parts of our federal immigration system into a just system that sees immigrants as full human beings, treats immigrants fairly, unites families, and welcomes immigrants as new Americans.

Add your name to tell the Biden-Harris administration to build a country where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential, no matter their race, birthplace, age, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

It is time that we make the United States a place where "We the People" includes all of us.
